Hokoku (also pronounced toyo-kuni) means 'Abundant country'. The Kyoto Hokoku jinja built in 1700 enshrined Hideyoshi, Toyotomi. It was destroyed under the Tokugawa shogunate and reconstructed on a new site in 1880 next to a Buddhist temple built by Hideyoshi, as one of the new Meiji shrines to patriotic heroes. It was designated a bekkaku-kampei-sha and boasts the great karamon gate (see Shin-mon) from Hideyoshi's Fushimi-jo castle. There are several toyo-kuni jinja dedicated to Hideyoshi.
